Bump for a solid program...

Decided to go with USCCA because it is currently a better Basic Home Defense program than NRA, in my opinion. I'm certified by both camps and desire to offer the best course opportunities possible.

I am going to bump Powders announcement. With his permission I am going to elaborate on his thread. For about the past 7 years I have hosted an NRA course at this location once or twice a year. This year I decided to not host any courses. Powder is taking the reins so to speak and making improvements. I have seen the USCCA PowerPoint and it is updated and more comprehensive. This will be the first time he will offer this course. I look forward to sitting in on it myself.

Since this is a home defense oriented course it makes since to allow the use of handguns, AR handguns, PCCs, shotguns or Carbines. Again the NRA PPITH course was a little dated in being a handgun only course. Over the years we had multiple people ask for an NRA PPITH style course that aallowed the use of a carbine or AR pistol. Here it is guys and gals! Once students enroll Powder will have a better idea as to what platforms people are interested in.

Shotgun - Powder asked me to put together an afternoon shotgun module. We still need to get together to discuss time and range setup so I can tweak the content. Expect discussion to be around the use of a shotgun in a home or business and cover proper setup, ammunition, patterning buckshot, ready positions and keeping the gun fed.

Carbine - will be led by a LE use of force instructor and sniper for a multi county SWAT (SRT) team. He knows his way around rifles. Once Powder tells me his expectations for range setup I will help him put together a short curriculum. I expect there will be more interest in carbines then shotguns and that is fine, more time to shoot ARs.

Handgun - Powder will lead this himself. Being an NRA, USCCA and RangeMaster instructor I can guess what his handgun techniques will look like.
